iMac and Macbook Pro, I want them essentially to be the same computer

I travel for work quite a bit and I am getting my master's. I like using the desktop at home and when I do my papers and download my reading material to the desktop, I want them to go right to the laptop as well. I am even ok if there was a way to just have everything on both computers communicating with each other and making sure all the folders I need from one to the other are exactly the same. I really just want both of these to be the exact same computer, but I know that is not possible. I have tried to find an answer here, but I am probably not asking with the right words. any help would be great thanks

iMac 24″, macOS 13.4

Right-click on that iCloud Drive Masters folder and choose Make Alias. That will create a Masters alias file in the same location. Now, press the option-key (to copy) and drag and drop that Masters alias to the Desktop on each Mac. When you click that Masters alias icon on either Mac Desktop, it will open a new Finder window on that folder's iCloud contents.
